Various things
Firstly, I won an Amnesty International competition recently and got a free CD - Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. I was obviously very glad about this. :D The only condition is that I blog a review about it, so I'll be getting that to you guys some time in the near future. This has also given me a chance to use my spiffy Amnesty avatar - I've been shamefully neglectful of Amnesty recently.
In other news, Oxford sent me a letter today, which is cool because I haven't had any news from them for ages. It's full of official looking forms which I should probably see to soon...
Went jobhunting once again today, and plan to go again tomorrow. It felt so good to get out of the house and see people, especially since I met quite a few people I hadn't planned on meeting, like my grandma's cousin's granddaughter. :D I am really very bad at being introverted. While in town I also indulged my nerdier side and bought 4 history books (99p each at the works - hardbacks! incredible) about world war 1, world war 2 in Europe, Vietnam and Palestine. They have lots of detailed maps too.
EDIT: Ooh, I also got a German grammar guide from the library, so prepare for my sentences to become logical, Germandowners!
So, the combination of a free CD, being vaguely altruistic, cheap history books, getting out the house, meeting friends and sunny weather make me very happy. :D
